You get what you pay for; sometimes

Some good items at premium rental prices. Some mediocre items at moderate prices. Depends on how much you’re willing to spend. There are items that should not be being rented or sold at even the moderate price. You could do as well at a thrift store because there are some high end items there too.
Just remember you get what you pay for.

They have a terrible cancellation…

They have a terrible cancellation policy. If you cancel in under 30 days before an event, you only get a credit and they also deduct a $10 cancellation fee. I will never use this service again.

Hi Meaghan,

Thanks for taking the time to send this feedback over to us!

While our policy does confirm any orders canceled within 30 days of the rental begin date provides you with credit and a cancellation fee, we do know that orders are canceled for many reasons. Feel free to send our team a message so we can work on a solution with you!

Great company and experience!

I have been a member for over a year and have had a great experience so far! There have been very few issues and anytime there is the customer service team responds quickly and with kindness. I also like that we have the option text customer service, this made it so much easier and convenient to report an issue with one of my orders.

Your rates went up significantly…

Your rates went up significantly without clear notice or my consent. I canceled my membership effective August 28th and have not used the service in September, yet I was still charged. Refusing to refund for a service I neither agreed to nor used is an unfair business practice. Please issue the refund immediately.

Hi Noor,

We appreciate you sending over this feedback!

We’ve increased the price of our plans to ensure we can continue to provide the ultimate membership experience as well as keep up with tariffs. Changing the price of our plans means that we can continue adding more fashion to the RTR closet, and investing in new product features that make your rental experience even better.

Your plan will continue to be charged on your bill date unless you extend your pause or cancel.

We're glad to see our team was able to provide you with a proper resolution!

First time ordering from them my rental…

First time ordering from them my rental was supposed to arrive by August 29, returning Sept 1. For an event for August 31. The order literally isn’t even arriving until Sept 2nd. What is the point of ordering something for a certain time when it’s not shipped in time for the event you need it for?! I do not recommend

Hi Allison,

Thank you for sending over your feedback!

Late shipments are definitely not a normal occurrence, and this definitely isn't the first time experience we'd want you to have.

We'd love to connect with you to provide you with the proper resolution here!

Great so far!

I have been a member for about 3 months and so far my experience has been great with this company. When you place an order, it arrives the next day. When I have had an issue with an item I just use the chat feature and they resolve it immediately.

I’ve always had exceptional customer service experiences with Rent the Runway. The team is responsive, helpful, and makes everything simple. On top of that, I absolutely love their clothes—every piece I’ve rented has been stylish, high-quality, and perfect for the occasion. Highly recommend!

What a scam

What a scam. I signed up and paid for a membership after weeks of getting targeted ads for wedding guest dresses that were allegedly available to rent. The language made it sound like I would get a 30% discount to sign up. Upon signing up, they had essentially zero stock in my size, not a single one of the dresses I had been shown. Everything available in my size was matronly, unfashionable, and unattractive. I also saw there was fine print on the discount code that it was only available for the large rental package. When I wrote to customer service they did not listen at all. I told them I wanted to quit my membership and get my money back because I felt I had been lied to about what I was going to have access to. They responded bizarrely cheerfully and gave made up reasons why they couldn't refund me, my favorite was "because it is now past the date that you signed up", which is how time works. They also kept offering to help me star styles which could not have been further from reading the room, I said nearly 10 times I wanted to quit and get my money back and had no interest in renting anything from them. Rent the Runway is incredibly misleading in their advertising, honestly to the point where it feels like a scam. Their customer service reinforces it.

Hi Jenny,

We appreciate your feedback here.

Our inventory fluctuates consistently, and since our members can hold onto items as long as they'd like, items are sometimes not available to rent, which we know can be frustrating! Our notify me button is perfect for when a style you've been eyeing comes back in stock. We never want to be misleading, our closet in the cloud is constantly changing.

We hope you'll give us a chance for a future event!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful…

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Jean was in helping me. She handled my situation with such care, kindness, and genuine understanding. It wasn’t just customer service — it felt like true compassion.

Jean went above and beyond to make things right, and in doing so, she reminded me that there are still people in the world who lead with heart. Rent the Runway is lucky to have her, and I’m deeply grateful for the way she supported me.

I will continue to support RTR because of the excellent customer service I received from Jean.

Customer service is always excellent

Customer service is always excellent. The selection of items can be difficult to access at times. There has been ideas to make this easier, but even the alerts for items being in stock are not really effective.

Not a company I feel confident in

I have used many clothing subscription services over the years, so when I was given a gift certificate to this service at Christmas, I was really excited to try it. But thins got busy, and I hadnt gotten around to picking anything out. But i recently discovered that apparently when I activated the gift card, I was automatically signed up for a recurring clothing delivery subscription. I never received any clothing, or realized I had the subscription.

When I called to see if there was anything I could do to get reimbursed, or at least to use the many months I had paid for, they refused.

Needless to say I canceled my subscription and do not plan to return.

This isnt a company I feel good about.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback!

Our memberships start the moment you sign up, and will continue to be charged on your monthly bill date moving forward unless you opt to pause or cancel your plan before your bill date; Similar to a magazine or streaming service subscription.

Our team is always around to answer any questions or concerns you may have!

Member since 2021 until today

I have been receiving 2 shipments a month since 2021. I have been happy with my service until now. The new late fee policies and extra $20 month have persuaded me to cancel my account and look into the other rental companies who offer the same brands and similar plans for a lower price.

Hi Nicole,

We definitely hear you! We absolutely recognize that changes to pricing are important to our members, and with this increase, we will be able to offer an exceptional experience while keeping up with changing tariffs and inflation rates.

We always want everyone to have a fair rental experience, and we do understand some late fees can be alarming. If you had any concerns or questions regarding fees we'd be happy to connect with you!
